Probability does work, things even out,

If you flip a coin a lot of times, the amount of heads and tails will NOT even out. When you divide the amount of tails by the amount of heads it will get closer to one the more times you throw, but in fact, the difference between the number of heads and the number of tails will increase the more you throw.
